For fans of Casey McQuiston, Alexis Hall, and Meryl Wilsner, an actually hilarious, sweetly sexy, gloriously relatable sapphic rom-com about a fake relationship, very real emotions, and writing your own Hollywood love story – from the acclaimed author of For Her Consideration.

Fresh off breaking up with her boyfriend and swerving away from the conventional, TikTok-ready married life she never wanted, Clementine is ready to explore the alternatives. Not that she wants to be single forever, much less die alone. But at thirty-six, it's time for her to experience new things—including in her love life. And though an invitation to a fake relationship to appease family sounds like a recipe for disaster, Clem finds herself saying yes to smart, spirited dog groomer Chloe Lee anyway . . .
Chloe is long past her own baby gay era, but even before they've tackled Clem's parents' anniversary party and Chloe's friend's wedding, the two of them end up spending a lot of time together. As the attraction between them grows stronger, it all begins to feel pretty real to Clem. Chloe, however, is fine as just friends—plus she's convinced Clem is just eager for "someone" to take her off the singles list. How to persuade her otherwise? After all, Clem is starting to realize her life is wonderfully full and being "alone" doesn't scare her a bit. Still, being without the tiny powerhouse that is Chloe, specifically? That's a whole other story . . .
Wise, witty, and full of heart, here is an uplifting love story with an ending worth waiting for.

      Spalding's third installment in the "Out in Hollywood" series, after At Her Service, offers a heartwarming exploration of self-discovery and personal growth through the lens of a fake-dating romance. The novel follows Clementine, a marketing professional fresh out of a relationship and now grappling with her bisexuality, and Chloe, a confident dog groomer. Their fake relationship, initially a convenient arrangement, becomes a catalyst for Clementine's journey of self-acceptance and openness. Spalding's writing shines in its portrayal of complex emotions and evolving relationships. The novel deftly handles family dynamics, exploration of sexuality, and the importance of supportive friendships. While the fake-dating trope is familiar, Spalding's execution feels genuine. She continues to demonstrate her expertise in crafting WLW narratives with authenticity and charm, filled with nuanced characters, emotional depth, and lighthearted moments. VERDICT This is a delightful read for fans of contemporary sapphic romance, especially those who appreciate stories of personal growth alongside romantic development..--Michelle Mistalski
